“The Bone is a short film that documents a harsh reality that is so often overlooked. Feliu and Torres, though young, truly bring this story to life. With staunch, dedicated performances… beautifully-shot scenes that tell much more than eight minutes worth of a story, To The Bone is definitely not a film to miss.”

“In a second, thosehealthy veggies you’re eating will leave a sour taste in your mouth. So enjoy your last bite of ignorant bliss.”

“After watching this slice of life that shows the reality of bearing hours of picking in heat despite exhaustion and in less-than-human conditions, you would think this girl would be broken, but her spirit stays strong…and rebellious. In a turn of events, and in hopes of helping her brother, she challenges the status quo. What happens next will leave you with your jaw hanging.”

“To The Bone is a tale of innocent rebellion, albeit one with severe consequences…The film could’ve gone bleak and sad and ended there, but it also makes a statement about family and sticking together no matter what.”

“Director to Watch:Beautifully crafted…an exquisitely-executed, tragic tale of the sacrifices that such families endure in order to survive.”

“The film has a great visual sense and theacting is excellent…Loved the characters and the conflict.”

“To The Bone captures the guilt of a father whose children must work to help him provide for them, the exhaustion and frustration of a preteen girl whose thrust into adulthood before her time and the innocence of an 8-year-old who is protective and sensitive to a sister who is more like his mother.”
